GM badges are picked up by EO's at GM HQ.
They are available starting on Wednesday July 31 at 5 pm at GMHQ

We do not mail them as we want know if you are actually at the show. This process makes it easy to track that.
It also gives EO's time to change their list of GM's given that the badges are printed much later in the process by the fulfillment team and mailing them is the first step in that process.
